You might think of asking, "How was it travelling in a Catholic, male-dominated foreign country? Did people give you alot of unwanted attention?" |

The Cliff's Notes being that it's awful.
We were privy to some University protests, and got teargassed.
From Santiago we went south to Pucon, extreme sporting capital of the largely indigenous state of Araucania. We found a crater lake, got attacked by dogs, and went snow tubing. We also failed at finding the indegenous university in Temuco and instead found the dollar store (see second post).

Oh man this guy. He fed us some line about owning the lake. We got suckered into hanging out in his shack. But look what you got out of it! |
